Unending Ripples Of ServiceSpace

ServiceSpace ecosystem has moved me beyond what words can describe. Formany years, my husband Curt and I have operated from a fundamental belief that there is enough for everyone -- abundance.  One of the projects we started,Respecting Our Elders, redistributes donated food to seniors and other in our own county who could use some extra food, and its been a privilege to gift about $4M worth of food every year, that otherwise would've been wasted. Ilonka is one of the people we've gifted to over time. She ended up writing a story about us in her Positive News paper.  DailyGood ended up featuring that story -- and I got SO many emails that day that I still haven't been able to respond to all of them yet.   Bit by bit, we learned about more of the ServiceSpace projects and I was most intrigued about Karma Kitchen. So today I took my restaurant owner friend, Sam, to visit and he is now very open to starting Karma Kitchen in Marin! On top of that, every other week, we go to Ilonka's house where she hosts her Easeful Feasts (Wednesdays on Tuesdays) in Bolinas. Not only that, the Dec 12th issue of Woman's World magazine (which reaches over 1 million readers in the US and Canada) featured our work and when I originally asked them where they heard of us, they said: "DailyGood!  We are avid readers of DailyGood, to find stories we can feature." Thank you for all that all of you do to create new possibilities in the world.
